during the Democratic primaries, but those labels don’t really describe his politics that well — he doesn’t really seem to have any kind of set ideology at all.
Instead, Biden’s long record in public office suggests that he is fairly flexible on policy — shifting his positions to whatever is in the mainstream of the Democratic Party at a given moment. So if Biden wins the presidency and his fellow Democrats are still clamoring for more government spending to help the pandemic recovery, Biden is likely to be a fairly liberal president, no matter how moderate he sounded in the primaries.
“The best way to understand Biden is as a reflection or reaction to the party’s main planks throughout the last 40 years, rather than leading or shaping it,” said Lily Geismer, a history professor at Claremont McKenna College who has written extensively about the Democratic Party and liberalism. “I don’t see Biden as embodying any of the ideological terms or positions of centrist or liberal, certainly not center-left and not really neoliberal either.
FiveThirtyEight Lol delusional
FiveThirtyEight Mrs Biden , you must protect your husband, he doesn’t know what he is doing-
FiveThirtyEight Nice story to try and push his racist comment out of the headlines.
FiveThirtyEight Why do we have two senile, presidential candidates running? Both Biden and Trump should already be making arrangements to peacefully retire and start treatment for dementia. Weight lifting can stop it, but they’re both very advanced so IDK

FiveThirtyEight I just saw a Joe Biden campaign Ad everything he talked about is the opposite of his Party and what Pelosi stands for. Pelosi doesn't want any American to go back to work. Democrats are sending out confusing messages.

FiveThirtyEight Biden is lost in space, every time I hear the Democrats Champion speak from his basement, he sounds like a person of not knowing what’s really going on in the world. Screws up speeches, telling me he has a problem, with what he’s trying to say. Not from heart and mind. Dictated.

FiveThirtyEight I cannot believe anyone no matter what party they are would vote for him.
FiveThirtyEight Don't worry, he isn't going to win. Look, I dislike that narcissistic toddler in the White House but I don't think Biden really has a chance. Besides, even if he does win, Republicans will try to impeach him right away. Regardless, two senior citizens who like touching girls.
FiveThirtyEight Suspicion of Korean intervention in China Follow the party!
FiveThirtyEight That’s your least worry. He’ll spend his first 4 years trying to undo this catastrophe Trump, The Cat In the Hat, has created.

FiveThirtyEight BidenInsultBot may have something to say about this.
FiveThirtyEight This is a straight up lie. And liberalism isnt exclusive to democratic platforms. He isnt even moderate, he is and has always been conservative and buddied up with conservatives in congress. If he moves left, he’ll be close to center left.
FiveThirtyEight Your public needs to hear from you regarding your future plans as our leader.
FiveThirtyEight There is no spectrum of political ideology...
FiveThirtyEight President Tweety done!
FiveThirtyEight if the Easter Bunny wants to take over Santa's job and the Tooth Fairy insists on being his sidekick it's likely that Democrats will support that course of action.
FiveThirtyEight Thought everyone knew by now that Joe can flip flop any way you need him to. Just tell him which way (you'll have to remind him more often now because of the whole dementia thing).
FiveThirtyEight You sure he will remember he even won?
FiveThirtyEight Joe is a pushover. He used to stand for something, but as soon as it is met with resistance he caves. We need a leader, not a coward.
FiveThirtyEight Biden would be the biggest puppet President of all time.
